May God Protect us from anything that would bring Sorrow to our Families ,this yuletide and beyond.
We pray for those who tend to be careless in the way that they use the roads
and their vehicles. May God give them an insight into the risk and danger into which
they put other road users through their lack of thought and consideration for
the safety of others, and protect them from the agony of knowing that their

negligence has brought about injury or death to other road users..

House of Reps to Investigate Purchase Of 6 Warships by Militant

The House of Representatives Thursday said that it would investigate the purchase of six warships procured by ex-militant leader, Mr. Government Ekpemupolo, a.k.a, Tompolo.

According to the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Zakari Mohammed, describing the alleged purchase of the six warships by Tompolo as “scary,” saying that it raised security concerns at a time the country was facing tough security challenges.

“That function should have been performed by the Navy.

Constitutional lawyer, Prof. Itse Sagay, says the acquisition of seven warships by Niger Delta militant, Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo, poses a threat to the nation's security.

Sagay, who condemned the development in a statement on Tuesday, said the Nigerian constitution does not approve of any individual carrying out security duties on Nigerian waters except the country’s armed forces.

Killer heels, soft music, expensive hair, lots of champagne.

At first glance, this crowd of good-looking women seem to be on a rather glamorous girls' night out, swapping stories about work, kids and husbands.

But around 10pm the first party game gets underway and it becomes apparent that this isn't your standard ladies' night.

For most kids, the holiday season is synonymous with the receiving of gifts. They make wish lists, point endlessly to their favourite items on TV and wait in lengthy lines to have an opportunity to tell Santa what they hope to receive this year.

As much as they may value the newest toy or coolest video game there seems to be something that they value at least a little bit more. Something that most of us will be pleasantly surprised to find out -especially when we discover that all it took was the right question to be asked.

Thanks to the creative work of IKEA Spain that top valued gift has been uncovered.

Women around the world are carrying out a practice which not only leaves them in pain but at increased risk of HIV.

'Dry sex' involves women reducing moisture in their vaginas in order to make intercourse more pleasurable for men, according to the Daily Mail report.

“Dry sex is known to be carried out in South and Central Africa, and Indonesia,” the report says. “It is borne out of a cultural belief that men find sex more pleasurable if a woman's vagina is dry, and that men will reject women whose vaginas have been ‘stretched out’ by sex.

A 500m stretch of the beach, which falls within the Mpenjati Nature Reserve, was given official nude beach status by the Hibiscus Coast municipality at the beginning of November.

It was hoped that the beach would be open for today’s World Naturist Day celebrations, but this will not happen because ablution blocks have not yet been built and bylaws governing the beach have not been gazetted.

The executive Governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi was pictured with his wife and their beautiful daughters and they looked super fab.

First lady Michelle Obama said a woman asked her for help getting something off a shelf at Target, describing racial experiences she’s had.

“I think people forget that we’ve lived in the White House for six years,” Michelle Obama told People magazine. “Before that, Barack Obama was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs.”

Given current events, it's hard not to have a very specific image of law enforcement come to mind. After controversy surrounding the deaths of Eric Gardner and Michael Brown, tensions between police and the public seem to be at a tipping point. With law enforcement under so much scrutiny, it's not uncommon for an interaction with police to be a tense one. However, sheriffs in Kansas City, Missouri, are out to change that perception. With the help of one eccentric and anonymous (who prefers to be called Secret Santa) millionaire, they're giving a little bit of holiday assistance to those in need.

He did not remove my dress or my pants but just drew my pants aside. He started doing something to me. I was crying but no one came. My friend came back and we left for home. My mother saw me crying and asked whether I was hungry but I told her to look at my private part as blood was coming out.”

Jailing him for life with a minimum of 35 years, Judge Charles Wide said he had not shown 'one iota of regret' for what he had done.

Tinubu Says He Turned Down Offer To Be Buhari's Running Mate

Statement released by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu regarding his withdrawal from consideration for the APC Vice- Presidential Position.

I am a Nigerian who loves his country and am hopeful about what it can become. I have seen and conducted myself as a patriot long before I thought of myself as a politician. I shall always walk this line and no other.

A while back, a photographer was on a leisurely stroll through the countryside of Portugal when he came across a huge storage barn that had no place being where it was. Looking out of place, his curiosity got the best of him and he decided to walk up to the building for a peek inside. What he saw made his jaw hit the floor. It was an absolutedream come true and he needed more details. He went up to the farm house near the building and asked if he could take a look inside. The owner told him the story and made him swear to keep the location a secret. He was allowed to photograph the contents however he could not tell a soul where he found this hidden treasure. Check this out.

This Is What Happens When You Try to Take a Selfie with a Monkey

This brave woman was obviously attempting to capture a rare, precious moment between her and a cool monkey, and in doing so, illustrated why some experiences are best left selfie-free.

Things start off pretty chill. For the woman, at least. She's smiling! The monkey is v. upset though, and in retrospect, this should have been her first cue to take a selfie with the surrounding ~*nAtUrE*~ instead, but you live and learn.

"I never wanted you here," Candice Curry, 39, writes on her blog, Women With Worth. "You simply were never part of the plan." The letter to her ex-husband's new wife, the new stepmom to her 14-year-old daughter, starts off like many women dealing with split families and second marriages feel. "I can almost bet that when you dreamed of becoming a mother it would be the day you gave birth and not the day you married your husband," she writes. "I'm pretty sure you never planned on me being here."

This was the scene at one brave couple's wedding in Lubbock, Texas, over the weekend, and it was a fabulous one. A Reddit user shared the photo and explained in the caption, "A friend of mine had his wedding today. The best man is asked for the rings, the groom holds his hand out and the best man plays the 'I don't have them' card. Everyone checks pockets ... and no one has the rings. Then ... this guy rolls in," saving the day. Here's aerial video of the moment, because it's warranted:

Last night at the Headies, Patoranking who won the well deserved Next Rated awards at the Headies. That earned him a brand new Hyundai…He had the best speech of the night when revealed he used to be a rat killer seller and Bricklayer

“When I sang ” When I moved from nothing to something, that is my story…I meant it..I would like to say something..2 years ago, I was living in a one room, now,i’m living (crowd cheered…Lekki) somewhere around. He then decided to speak in pidgin English and said..

The 34-year-old manager of the Lindt cafe, Tori Johnson, and mother of three Katrina Dawson, 38, have been named as the two hostages killed during the Sydney siege on Tuesday morning. Four others have been injured, including a woman with serious gunshot wounds to the leg.

The Muslim gunman identified as self-styled Iranian Sheik Man Haron Monis, 50 (inset), was also shot dead after police burst into the Martin Place cafe at 2.11am Tuesday and opened fire. One of the hostages was reportedly shot by the terrorist, while another tragically died from a heart attack later in hospital. Gunfire and bursts of light could be seen as they stormed the Lindt Chocolate Cafe in Martin Place. Minutes before police stormed the cafe, seven hostages managed to escape 17 hours after the siege began. Man Haron Monis was described as a self-styled sheik from Iran who arrived in Australia in 1996. He is on bail for being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife, allegedly carried out by his current partner. Monis also faces 50 charges of indecent and sexual assault during his time as a 'spiritual healer'. He also appeared in court for sending hate-filled letters to the families of soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

"Why We Could Not Defeat Boko Haram"- Army Commander Writes A Powerful Letter To President Jonathan

In a desperate letter to President Goodluck Jonathan and Senate President David Mark leaked to SaharaReporters this past weekend, a commanding officer stationed in Nigeria's northeast details several troubling issues plaguing troops combatting Islamist terror group Boko Haram in the region.

Indeed former head of state, Olusegun Obasanjo revealed a lot in his new book; My Watch, which a court has asked to be confiscated. In this biography book, Obasanjo revealed that he knew nothing about his late wife’s cosmetic surgery, where she wanted to have a tummy tuck and have a better shape for her forth coming 60^thbirthday party, before dying on the surgery table. The former head of state also revealed that the doctor was careless and he made sure his license was revoked for a period of time through the help of the Nigerian embassy in Spain and was also made to pay a fine, which Olu Obasanjo, her son received.

He said he was also fully aware that some Nigerians said he killed her in order to buttress his success, but nothing of such happened.

The APC Presidential flag-bearer has finally put an end to speculations on who becomes his Vice with the adoption of Yemi Osibanjo as his running mate ahead of other candidates thrown up for the position like Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State.

Dear Ex-Husband,

When I saw you in your driveway yesterday, at our routinely scheduled pickup time, it occurred to me suddenly that I have not seen you naked in almost two years. I know that my face must have conveyed the relief I was feeling at this revelation, and I’m sorry I lied and said I was distracted by the dog.

Be There, Be Yourself

In the midst of all this confusion, there is a growing consensus: Kids need their fathers as well as their mothers. But how does this idea of “involved father” translate to daily life? Current research points to the following practical guidelines for responsible fatherhood.

• Embrace your responsibility. Once you are a father, you are a father for life. The knowledge of fatherhood changes a man. It can be a source of pride and maturity or a source of shame and regret. Even if you have good reasons for not being actively involved, acknowledging your paternity is a minimal gift you can provide to your child. With it come many legal, psychological, and financial benefits. If you want to be in your child’s life, it also protects your rights to have time with your child should you and the child’s mother have a falling out.

The compassion shown by Officer William Stacy to desperate Alabama mother Helen Johnson captured the nation’s attention at a time of strained relations between the police and black Americans.

Instead of arresting her for stealing five eggs to feed her starving family on Saturday, Stacy bought the carton and the touching hug they shared afterwards caught on video by a stunned passer-by went viral.

After a long meeting in Lagos on Sunday night by south-west leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the choice of running mate to Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 presidential election has been narrowed down to Bola Tinubu, national leader of the party, and Yemi Osibajo, a professor of law and former attorney general of Lagos state. However, if the south-west ─ which is expected to fill the slot ─ decides to cede it to the south-south, Adams Oshiomhole, governor of Edo state, will get the nod,

Why will anyone in their right mind do such a thing? Guys beware of ladies nowadays especially when introducing your so called "best friends" to them.

A look at 32 year-old Sani Saidu , will never pass him for a betrayer, let alone a killer , owing to his quiet disposition and soft way of speaking. But his disposition has only proved to be deceptive after all , as he is currently cooling his heels at the Lagos State Criminal Investigations Department ,SCID, Yaba , Lagos, over a case of alleged murder.

The Gombe state born suspect allegedly stabbed one Mr Shittu Aremu, driver of a truck to death while accompanying him to Port Harcourt, Rivers state, destination of the 40,000 litre of petroleum product .

The late Aremu whose age was put around 56 years, was a driver to S.K Transport Service Nigeria Limited . He reportedly loaded the truck with plate number AGL 368 XA with aviation fuel worth N5.5 million and consequently left Lagos for Port Harcourt on November 13, 2014, to discharge
the product.

But before leaving Lagos State, he was said to have invited Saidu to work with him as his motor boy, with a promise to pay him an undisclosed amount at the end of the trip. But little did he realize that the invitation would end his life.

One of the biggest supporters and kinsman of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, has declared that the president has lost the support of his political base, the South-south and the South-East owing to the failure of his government to deliver on its promises.

Dokubo-Asari, at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, said that it would be tough for Jonathan to win the presidential election in 2015 if he decides to run based on the poor showing of his administration.

Two female hostages have managed to break free from the Sydney cafe in Martin Place where an Islamic extremist is holding dozens of hostages - bringing the number of escapees to five. Earlier, three men scrambled a few metres from a fire escape toward heavily armed tactical police, who kept their weapons pointed toward the café as they directed the men to get behind them to safety.

Tension is mounting at the Presidency and the core North over the court case challenging the eligibility of President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2015 presidential election.

Competent sources said, last night, that the Presidency was worried that the case could upset its political permutations should the Supreme Court rule against Jonathan running in the election.

The main headache of the Presidency is that if the apex court rules that its principal could not run in 2015, it would be difficult for the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to organise another National Convention to elect another candidate to meet the deadline set by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said to be December 18, two days after the hearing.
